Conroe July the 14th????

I have a Tigerdirect outlet 15min from my house. Its funny to go in there, and un-educated people argue with the customer service about compatibility and I know all too well the customer service is correct. That aside, it would be very nice to know the date now. I could list my old proc and mobo on eBay right now if I knew C2D would be out the 17th.

That Texas date of 08-04-06 seems more likely to me. That said, I hope they are early.

Yeah I do too, it's pretty rad, but the people there really are kinda dumb. I was asking them if they had any other revision boards of the Intel 975X than the 303 cause I wanted to see it all, and I got a blank stare.

Anyone contacted BLT to see if there dates are still the same?

I talked to BLT again yesterday.


The guy seemed a little irritated, he said he was being flooded with calls about Conroe, even a few from the media.


Anyway, he said he probably could not ship before the release date and that if I found someone who would ship to me before the release date then go ahead and buy it and just cancel my order with him.


So not exactly a confidence inspiring conversation with the BLT guy at all. He seemed kinda upset.


He also hinted that some of the processors had to be returned to the factory. Has anyone else heard about this??? It seems to fit the strange scenario with Luna having 12 then 3. I also talked with other CSRs at other companies who said that there computers showed it in stock but when they went to look the procerssors were physically gone. strange stuff.

Also does no one else have a phone? So many people post "can someone call" or "what did they say" pick up a phone and call yourself!

Maybe some of the processors they had werent B-2 steppings and they recalled them? Only thing that crosses my mind.

I can understand why...they originally put 7-5-06 on their site and they got a bunch of pre-orders. When they had to change it to 8-5-06 I am sure they got more then a handful of curse out calls.

That sucks for BLT.

damn, I'm PCless so waiting until mid-August isn't an option...

time to cancel preorder and look around...

I just don't want to have to camp Newegg to make sure I don't get the AI adjusted price.
